There were bursts of footsteps in the distance, it was a large number of Song troops, the Yuan army was a little desperate, and those Tartars who were unwilling to die and tried to save themselves stopped moving.

What's the use, in the end, it's just a matter of death.

These 80,000 people, like the 40,000 people before them, are about to disappear from heaven and earth.

But unexpectedly, the Song army who came over actually carried a lot of long tree trunks!

This is?

When the Tartars were puzzled, the Song army came to the edge of the swamp and erected tree trunks, and dumped them into the swamp.

This...... Is this to save people?

The Tartars were inexplicable, but at the moment of crisis, they had to hold on tightly to the trunk of the tree around them, which was about the same thickness as the thigh, but it was the only "life-saving straw" for these people.

When Zhao Rui and Ma Yue came over, countless tree trunks were already covered with countless tartars, but the Song army did not speak, and they did not dare to climb out along the trunks, because the Song army on the opposite side was holding black muskets, which was really an existence that the Mongols could not resist.

At the end of a tree trunk, Muhachi was still whispering to a few soldiers around him, because they were around, but none of them came to save him, these soldiers were silent, thinking that they would be sad in the future, if they died, they would be fine, and now they are all alive, I am afraid that Muhachi will not give up in the future.

"Haha......" Zhao Rui was in a very happy mood.

Looking at the grand scene in front of him, Zhao Rui said loudly: "Now, those who are willing to mine for me will slowly climb over one by one, and if they are unwilling, you can let go of the trunk in your hand!" ”

Zhao Rui's voice was not loud, and it had clearly reached everyone's ears.

What the?

Muhachi was so angry when he heard this, he wanted us Mongols to give him a Song people to mine?

What a shame!

Mu Hachi also understood at this time, Zhao Rui was so calculating, he was already fighting their ideas from the beginning, what mineral deposits were exhausted, and the transfer of gold was all his conspiracy!

Looking around, there was not a single Yuan soldier who let go of the tree trunk, Mu Hachi was a little angry, these people had been blessed by the Yuan Dynasty all day long, and now in order to survive, they wanted to mine for their Song people, it was really shameless!

Angry, Muhachi even forgot that his own arm was tightly gripping the trunk of the tree, not daring to let go.

The first Yuan soldier walked "ashore", made a scimitar covered with mud, and threw it into the ground with a "clang", as did the second and third.

It didn't take long for the unarmed Tartar soldiers to stand honestly in a long line, and they were dejected, because in the culture of the Yuan Dynasty, those who robbed were considered slaves, and it was up to others to fight or kill.

When Muhachi came up, the scimitars on the ground had been stacked like hills, and in the Yuan army, this kind of scimitar was considered a standard weapon, and it was possessed by every soldier.

Maybe it was because his scimitar was more exquisite, or because the officer's uniform on his body was noticed, the Song general named Zhao Rui stepped forward and asked, "You are the general of the unified army?" ”

Mu Hachi saw Zhao Rui's appearance of looking up and down, and thought to himself, yes, he is the commander, how can he not lose the face of the Yuan Dynasty, and the Yuan Dynasty is powerful, it is estimated that Zhao Rui may have scruples and dare not treat himself at will.

"Yes! I am the commander of the army! Muhachi thought of this, and puffed up his chest and made a proud appearance.

"I'm the Commander-in-Chief...... Muhachi ......"

Unexpectedly, when he said his name, Zhao Rui had already walked away from the people around him.

Bastard! Don't you even care who you are?

Mu Hachi went to the place where the Yuan army stood in a huff, and heard Zhao Rui saying to his companions: "Although he is older, he is strong, and he is also a good hand when he goes to the mine......

The people around him asked with some concern: "But there are so many people, do we have so much food?" ”

After listening to Ma Yue's question, Zhao Rui laughed twice and said: "You didn't know just now, I heard that the grain they brought was enough for millions of catties, enough for this group of people to eat for a while......"

Besides, because the distance was too far, Muhachi couldn't hear clearly, and at this moment his heart was full of mixed feelings, chagrin, shame, and deep unwillingness.

The grain and grass that his army had prepared with great difficulty was actually obtained by Zhao Rui and them, and it sounded like it was used as rations for their own mining?

What is this called!

Now he brought over the labor for mining, and the food is also eaten by the Yuan army, he really lost his wife and soldiers, and his feelings are a good thing, so Zhao Rui and them have taken it up!

Although Muhachi understood the whole thing, he was unable to return to heaven at present, so he had to follow the team in despair.

The soldiers on Zhao Rui's side escorted them with guns and did not tie ropes or anything like that, but this group of Tartars seemed to have completely given up the idea of resisting, and walked honestly, and none of them escaped to make trouble.

When these more than 80,000 people were escorted to Guangyuan Prefecture, the people in the city were all shocked!

What's going on?

How did you capture so many Tartars?

The Song people and Jiaozhi people in the city are mixed, they are all the same incredible, it seems that there is no such general in history, who can make such great achievements!

Later, when they heard that the Tartars were going to be taken to the mines to mine, the people were completely convinced...... Now that the Yuan Dynasty is in full swing, no one dares to capture the Yuan army and let them work hard!

Sure enough, the prince is a fairy-like person!

No wonder Ma Zhenren is so powerful, and he has to look forward to the head of the prince!

Everywhere Zhao Rui passed, there were people kneeling and kowtowing, their expressions solemn and solemn, as if they were really visiting the statues in the Taoist temple.

The people of Guangyuan are so polite!

Zhao Rui felt that he couldn't afford such a big gift, so he had to ride on the horse and wave and smile at people.

When they arrived at the mine, the three brothers of the Xiong family led the team, searched the Tartars, sewed their clothes pockets, and arranged the grouping, which took a long time.

The fierce and vicious appearance of the three brothers of the Xiong family really suppressed a lot of Tartars, and they felt that if they were a little unsatisfactory, these three fierce men would definitely kill people.

During the examination, two of the Tartars showed signs of fever and vomiting.

This can give Zhao Rui a big wake-up call, he is not a person who will not be saved when he sees death, although he is a Tartar soldier, it is also a living human life, but after all, the medicine is limited, and when they first arrive in the rainforest area, they will easily be attacked by miasma, and they are even more careless!

Look at the Song army's failure to capture Jiaozhi, and the Yuan army's capture also failed, isn't it just defeated in the climatic environment, but even more than half of the soldiers of the Yuan army were killed by disease!

This is not good, besides, Zhao Rui is still counting on these people to work for him!

Zhao Rui immediately made a decision, fed medicine to the two Tartar soldiers, and rested.

The rest of the more than 80,000 people looked at it stunned, how could they never have imagined that Zhao Rui would treat the Mongols, and if he was an official of the Yuan Dynasty, he would still treat the disease? It's good not to kill people!

Then Zhao Rui transferred a large amount of chili peppers, ready to give these Mongolians a few days to eat.

The effect is remarkable, and there is no large amount of malaria in Tartar, but fortunately, Zhao Rui reflected in time to avoid the crisis.

Now with these more than 80,000 people, it is different, the output of ore has increased significantly, and Zhao Rui has even built three more refining plants to process a steady stream of gold ore.

A huge amount of gold bricks filled the warehouse, and there were heavy guards, at first Zhao Rui would be dazzled by the gold, but later, he was completely numb.

Moreover, gold mines are mostly associated with gold and silver, and while producing a large amount of gold, there is also a small amount of silver, which alone is used to pay the hired laborers, to the extent that it is impossible to spend.

There were originally a lot of goldsmiths in Guangyuan Prefecture, but now that the gold mine was completely controlled by Zhao Rui, they wanted to go to other cities to make a living, and Zhao Rui quickly stopped them after learning about it.

I originally felt that the gold pieces were like bricks without any sense of beauty, but now that there are those that can be processed, of course they must be made more exquisitely, after all, the wages are only much, but the goldsmith can make beautiful jewelry, which in itself adds added value to the gold, no matter how Zhao Rui is not a loss!

Moreover, with the development of Zhao Rui's territory, there will also be a large demand for gold jewelry for folk weddings and funerals.

As a result, a large-scale jewelry processing workshop came into being, although the speed of creating jewelry is far less than the speed of alchemy, but it has also created countless exquisite jewelry for Zhao Rui.

The 100,000 army disappeared out of thin air for such a long time, even if there was no need for spies to investigate, the Yuan Dynasty should know that it was folded in Zhao Rui's hands.

However, Zhao Gong has never had any clues from the Tartar army, which made Zhao Rui a little disappointed, he wanted to catch some more strong men for mining, but now it seems that there is no chance.

However, what Zhao Rui didn't know was that the Yuan army didn't have the energy to pay attention to the southwest at all.

Because of the upgrade of the return artillery, now the two cities of Xiangfan have shown signs of loosening, the Yuan Dynasty emperor Borkin was overjoyed, and could not help but increase the production of the new return artillery, and sent a large number of troops to besiege Xiangfan.

At present, the number of Yuan troops around Xiangfan has reached a terrifying 800,000 people, and of course there are many officers and soldiers and generals of the Song Dynasty who surrendered.

Zhao Rui only learned about this situation after reading the newspaper of the imperial court in Longzhou, after all, his strength was still not enough! Zhao Rui shook his head, the current power of the Yuan army is too great, don't look at Xiangfan There are 800,000 people, in fact, the entire city along the Yangtze River is being attacked by the Yuan army, so the approximate number, I am afraid that there are more than two million troops.

Now it seems that the imperial court is also starting to be anxious, and is mobilizing the power of the people to participate in the anti-Yuan, but Zhao Rui clearly knows that it is already too late.

The current season is already deep winter in the north, Zhao Rui has traveled over for nearly half a year, and another year will be 1272, which is only a little more than a year away from the time when the city was broken in history.

During this time, it was the time when the Yuan Dynasty had no time to take care of itself, and it seemed that it was the right way to develop the territory as soon as possible, and perhaps in the next few years, there would be strength to really compete with the Yuan army.

But now, there is still a long way to go!
